As we touched down in snowy Boston this week to bring you the Salesforce World Tour, I was reminded of the amazing energy and passion of our Awesome Admins! The winter weather didn’t stop us from connecting or learning, and we want to thank all of you for being so welcoming. Over 5000 people filled Hynes Convention Center on Thursday and our admin community was there in full force.
Jennifer Lee from John Hancock was honored in the Pre-Keynote with the #AwesomeAdmin award for her amazing community service, relentless dedication to the Admin community and earning 102 Trailhead badges. Yes, you read that correctly – 102 badges! Way to go Jennifer!
Our very own Sarah Franklin, VP of Admin and Developer Marketing, rocked the stage with amazing live demos of the Platform and she even asked the local MVP community to stand up and I was clapping loudly for you guys – boy, do you guys deserve a round of applause!
Admins love to hear from other Admins. The theater was packed to the brim with admins looking to learn from others in their shoes! The most common question I got from attendees was, will the presentations be posted? Yes! They are listed below. HUGE thank you again to all of our Admin and Evangelist presenters. Make sure to check out the photobooth photos and zone photos on our Facebook album.

The New Features for Salesforce Admins session was presented by Mike Gerholdt, Gillian Madill and Mary Scotton and it was top rated! Thank you to all of the Awesome Admins who packed the room.
Here’s the slide deck from the session:
Flows are massive. You’re sitting there with a business requirement, staring at that “New Flow” screen, and you don’t know which flow type to choose. It can be intimidating, for sure. You may choose a flow type and start to build it, only to find out partway through that the flow type won’t work. Now, […]
As a Salesforce Admin, you’re the guardian of your Salesforce implementation. You’re the first line of defense in keeping your org running smoothly, supporting users, and ensuring your setup is stable and scalable.
